Haley has a voice as if a Stradivarius violin has come to life. I have never heard something like this. She is nothing less than a phenomena.

HAYLEY- Bautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bkinouye]

Kudos to the audience for allowing the song to end before applauding. That's a pet peeve of mine.

[Lindzc1117]

Endless Ocean anyone?

[amakaufondu2]

wish i could sing like this........... cute

[brendamolecula]

Secret Garden + Hayley Westenra = Paradise!

[TheDaring100]

This song was used for endless ocean!

[Asmalashhab]

She caught my ears the moment I heard her sing in The Merchant of Venice soundtrack. :')

[pudsey4000]

@Asmalashhab - did she? the one with al pacino and jeremy irons??

[brendamolecula]

@Asmalashhab Amazing song, the best thing in the movie (is a good movie) is the ending with the credits rolling and her voice filling the screen.

[Spodchops]

Amazing simply amazing x

[Wolfymusic1]

When Hayley sings this I have an out of body experience, time stands still, I am but spirit and riding a eurphoria know only by few of us mortals.

[Lukvr1]

Great Hayley! I never saw her in live performance video, she is amazing!!

[Lukvr1]

Great Hayley! I never saw her in live performance, she is amazing!

[KonataStar00]

hey, I just bought Endless Ocean 2, I don't know if she sings in this one too :(

I got Endless Ocean 1 but she sings beautiful in there :)

[Quantic69]

that are thousands of people god

[tayjay2g]

Angelic vocal. Simply beautiful lyrics. A God given talent for sure!

[ohboyhead]

endless ocean is a great game and to have this and many other of her songs makes it that much better

[caribaux]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ENDLESS OCEAN!!! That´s how I got to know Hayley!!

[ValiantPilgrim]

Very good inspirational

[Zer0Funk]

There's talent, and then there is Hayley. I don't think I've ever been more captivated in my life.

[57bigjoe]

Back in 82 on a cruise i did comedy routine on stage in front of 300 people and almost died of fright.Note the amount of people there that she is singing in front of. She has them mesmerized!!

[holywells]

@57bigjoe I totally agree!! Imagine the confidence that she must have to walk out on that stage in front of that huge audience, lift the microphone, and start singing without another sound in the entire theatre. It seems as though the members of the orchestra even sit without moving, at her opening, out of pure respect for this talented lady in their presence!!

[PersephoneMilneaux]

@ tampasan: I wish I could say I agree with the "soothing"... every time I hear her sing my heart jumps to my throat and I start crying.

[dieKapp]

A really beautiful version of Secret Gardens Song. I love it.

[bkinouye]

I like how this audience waits until the music completely stops before they applaud.

[kalekold]

That's called respect. :)

[tampasan]

Miss Westenra's music is pleasant to the ears and soothing to the soul.

[torontodave]

@tampasan and very easy on the eyes. But her voice really is just soo soothing

[meami2013]

beautiful.....amzing

[ImanAganj]

This perfomance is so beautiful! It will be nice to include in the video info that Secret Garden originally composed and performed it.

[WeeLewyBee]

Hayley Westenra is the single best female singer EVER!!!!

[listener16214]

agreed

[eoarwyn]

Oh. This is actually a lot more mature, better than her CD version. :) Love it.

[calcutta8]

I heard this song playing "Endless Ocean" on the Wii. I didnt know who she was prior to finding this video. This is an amazing song and her voice is truly beautiful.

[meami2013]

I have endless ocean too!

[padlockedable]

i have endless ocean too and i found her by searching her name on the Web

[PeacefulMuldrew]

I love Haley Westenra. She is amazing. i always do yoga to her music. She is a amazing! Thx for posting this,

[Manny1222]

Her voice is beautiful. I found out about her last night when I listened to this song on here. It tears right through you with the power of the sun. Yet it doesn't hurt but it is gentle and warm making you feel at peace.

[rickyphu]

i heard this first from the secret garden....so did they wrote it? or this song actually belong to sum other singer?

[Zencat24]

They wrote it and Hayley perfected it.

[AngelBabe2233]

@Zencat24 hahahaa Perfect words :):)

[brotherjohn25]

I'm not familiar with opera but is this opera? I feel like I'm levitating from the ground.

[Zencat24]

No, it's not opera - it's more like light classical.

[N7i3N]

@brotherjohn25 Its not opera.

[a3481188]

Hayley is so graceful.

Though I listen to metal much more , the voice is so clean and  really touch my heart .

[madhattsy]

Beautiful Song

[kcirtapio]

i really love hayley :D

[Eviltymes]

She has the most gourgeous voice i have ever heared, i fell in love with the song as soon as i heared it.

[porkyurmomlawlz]

To put into words just how amazing Miss Westenra's voice is...well, it's a chore, to say the least.

I have heard many beautiful singers in my time, but I dare say that this young lady is the most gifted (Vocally) woman I've laid eyes upon. To call her voice beautiful, even angelic, is an understatement; her voice is nothing short of pure perfection. She is, quite simply, breathtaking.

To give her all the credit would be a disservice to the orchestra, however, as they were magnificent.

[Monize08]

way to go..u sure know how to qualify it. I too think her voice is something very very special in our world... People who know about music and people who don't.. when they ear her.. they get speachless...

[madhattsy]

I absolutely agree

[o0OSabreO0o]

@porkyurmomlawlz couldnt have said it better myself... and to give some credit to the orchestra is well is well commented..

[SourBabe1]

i love this song its sooo Beautifullllll

[Hinabi12]

This song is sooooooo beautifull.

[Cretin321]

my god what a voice! Such purity!

[DeidaraIsHot154]

she's one of those few amazing artists who sounds exactly like they did on their CDs...her voice is so beautfiul...I want it!!!

[kolizomusix]

i love her voice soo much...........

[YANAxHEARTxLOTTE]

GODDNIS !!!!

THATS NICE !!

ITS JUST BEAUTIFULL !

I WISH I HAD HER VOICE !

love her voiceeee <3

[cowboy45longcolt]

WOW.Her voice is just so pure and rich.I also love her warm under tones.She flat out gives my goose bumps.

Thank you,

Henry.

[holywells]

Tell me....is there any other singer out there who can perform this song as flawlessly as Hayley is doing here! I DOUBT IT !!!!

[coyasgirl]

This is my favorite song in Endless ocean^^ AND I STILL CANT FIND THE BIG FRIKIN SHARK IN THE SHIP WREAK! well... i did but i cant find it agian O.O

btw amazing voice she has :3

[phtographyaficionado]

Very pretty and very pretty voice.

[BurningIce89]

Beautiful song...

[sizzlingkat]

All I can say is WOW!

[rkm0003]

Not sad, just a beautiful lullabye.

[collide007]

I too listen mostly to rock, but there is just somthing about this song, and her voice, it speaks to the soul.

[Yaffacake08]

I dont usually listen to music like this. I was searching for Hayley Williams out of paramore. and instead a link came up saying did you mean Hayley Westenra. So I clicked it and I found some of her songs. She quite good. I never noticed the name on Endless Ocean and then realised this was her. Its good music but its just not me. She is still amazing. Its not every day you get singers like that whilst most boys are into rapping not realising that there are singers like this.

[AKVideography]

Good for you! Finally, someone who can recognize a beautiful singer even when he doesn't particularly care for the music! If there were more people like you on YouTube there would be a lot less bickering.

[dhom100]

embrace the beautiful side of life...

[boredboys6178]

I cry every time i hear this! SAD SONG!!!

[janillo31s]

wow

[zacheraa]

This video makes me cry. It has so much power.

[fluffyfan07]

I Descovered her yesterday because of her name once i listend to the sample i fell in love with her.

[scubadiving101]

This is one of my faveorite songs of hers. I first heard it on the Wii game "Endless Ocean"

[dragonecco2010]

same here her voice is so pretty its captivating perfect voice for an underwater game.

[elixwhitetail]

This was what sold Endless Ocean to me. Before the game even launched.

[holywells]

I can only imagine how much confidence in one's own abilities it must take to walk out on that stage before such a huge audience, lift the microphone up, and start the song without any music at all. Throughout the entire concert hall there wasn't another sound from anyone or anything. There was just the sheer grace and beauty of this lovely lady's voice and her presence. How fortunate we all are to be able to witness this kind of talent.

[carbonatedgravy]

I'm not sure what draws me to this. For the most part I listen to hard rock nearly exclusively, but there's something very soothing and mesmerizing about her and about this song in particular.

[ROJBOJ]

Me = death metal. I love Hayley. Go figure??

[hornbill10]

me = thrash metal.. yeah.. its really soothing..

[SKAiman]

me = gothic, metal, punk, ska..

well... seems to have to do something with "music" in general.

one knows good music, when he listen to it. and then he could take out the bits best on that kind of mood you are in and so on. but still you know other good music, when you hear ity and since music depends on the mood, the mood depends on music. and here we are, leaving all the guitars, drums, headbangs and so on to one side, and just floating in the stream of this beautiful voice.

make sense to me

[chitoneboy]

ella tiene la voz de un angel

y es hermosa

ojala q su forma de ser sea como las dos bellezas que ella maneja

[Gav0sh]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but this video came from Songs of Praise, which was filmed in the Royal Albert Hall, London.

The reason I know is that I was there and she has such a haunting voice and could listen to this long over again.

[season4dreaming]

I see what you mean, this is so much better than her recorded version!

[Arneia]

i love this song, i never knew she had a version! i only knew the one by secret garden which i adore!

[princessofsarcasm]

Wow, she's so good live too! , i found her on the wii game,now my bestie is learning tha harp part!

[dragonyox]

clicked favorite this video like 10 times :D love this song!!

[kazooie1404]

Que hermosa es!!!

[FIRECOLD007]

i love her voice i melt in comfort when i hear it thank you (Zencat24) for giving this video to us

[MotherRaksha]

it speaks to me of hope in the midst of a seemingly endless winter... how beautiful.

[donnacheer11]

so much talent, such a clear pure voice, Mariah Carey take notes

[rkm0003]

Absolutely stunning performance. Makes me want to go out and buy the Wii game just to be able to listen again and again. 5 stars is not enough.

[ipaythursday]

Or just buy her Odyssey cd.

[rkm0003]

Good point. Downloaded it last night. Still want the game though.

[MantelPiece12]

I have the Wii game. thats where i discovered her. She has a beautiful voice.

[kaijapan777]

[djkizza]

[Takeshi607]

[Iazin12192]

Gives me chills every time...

[edhsportfolios]

Her sound brings warmth to the soul.

Evangeline

[SakuraMoonflower]

XD I was reading an article on 'twenty five best surprises of 2008' concerning video games, and Endless Ocean was on the list. As soon as I saw Haley's name, I went "I KNOW HER! O_O;" I couldn't remember exactly why off the bat: the only thing I could think of was "Famous young opera singer, right?" I just didn't remember how I knew her. It took seeing her face to remember her name: she joined Celtic Woman sometime last year XD

[dragonyox]

its the best song you could ever combine to endless ocean

[perpitbla5]

Quality.

[uglysiamese2]

beautiful.

[Sammie2499]

SO PRETTY!

[keikoandgilly]

GOD I love this song.

[nazirthesaracen]

[kazooie1404]

[cobedibatdomdom]

Hayley is fantastic!!

[AutumnLove05]

I Love this song, words can't describe how beautiful it is.....makes me tear up each time.

[Elizabeth1243]

She sings a song from a Wii game-the game-Endless Ocean.

It's a good game and a good song, she's great with an angle's voice.

[Terro64]

nearly all of the songs from endless ocean are sung by her.

[NintendoJoker]

shes got a brilliant voice live. Beautiful song beautiful woman.

[lumberjavk]

hayley westentra takes this song to a level that is just awesome! to the sound of one ear listening to its inotation of flawness in this great preformance. with her on stage beauty and the background of the resonance just ads to the beauty of this remarkable song, she just takes it to a spiritual level that is beyond the stars with great beauty!!

[kazooie1404]

Me encanta esta cancion y la conoci gracias al juego Endless Ocean...

[fairyfantastic]

i'm like "wow"...o"o

[ghostlypolak]

yeah, this song is what goes through my head when i scuba dive. its sounds like the ocean.

[nataliechiara8602]

beautiful :DD

[j03808]

I'm not normally a fan of this kind of music, but this is just incredible. The only thing is, while she's being introduced the gentleman talking gets a very strange look on his face when he talks about 'dark times'.

[atia114]

Such a beautiful voice!!!

[Rippla3000]

OMG!gorgeous song ...I want this played at my funeral someday...

[Keiko8383]

This is my favorite song on Endless Ocean.

I could listen to it forever.

I wish I could listen to it while scuba diving in RL.

[lutaristic]

So beautiful... Reminds me of a mermaid singing to a sailor...

[RockyBronco1990]

One of God's best creations.=]

[holywells]

If anyone knows another singer that can perform this song any better, please, let me know who it is.  I would love to hear it. Actually, I won't hold my breath waiting for anyone to come forth, so I will just keep enjoying this PERFECT version that Hayley is singing.

[onigiri2008]

なんて綺麗な歌声だろう！

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

*shudders* Hauntly Beautiful.

[crudemood]

This song cuts through everything unimportant and hits me right at the core. it really brings me to tears. I've never felt anything more beautiful.

[katana2570]

This song reminds me of Endless Ocean.

[phobiphantom10]

it was in the game.

[EndlessOceanFan]

thats because this song is in Endless ocean

[Dall5000]

This is the only song that almost makes me tear. I never cry so that's saying a lot.

[fbalter]

I'm jealous of her voice. It's like the very perfection condensed. When I hear it, everything else pales in comparison.

[Muggar62]

What a "BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL" performance! It does not get any better!

[ipaythursday]

This performance should be placed in a tomb for extraterrestrial beings to find when have left the house. Maybe they'll think this planet was inhabited by angels. ;-)

[dreamsincolor1117]

this is one of the most calming songs ive ever heard,, thank you for posting this video!

[freedom7404]

this song will help you through rough times and i always pick it in endless ocean

[Zencat24]

Indeed. It got me through a really rough time last year.

[LordRockman82]

This was my 1st easy listening cd. I was angry at my girlfriend & 1 day I went to K-mart. I pick up this cd out of anger, not thinking about what am doing. I bought the cd along with some other stuff. Then went in my truck & put the cd in & drove off. As I was listening to prayer it hit me so hard. That I started to cry because her voice & the melody touched me.

[Muggar62]

I agree, superb performance and voice!

Sings so effortlessly, so beautiful!

[miriley6]

Wow that is the most beautiful voice i have ever heard

[biblesluke627]

she has such a young and beautiful voice. Amazing.

[starscreamrulz]

This is the song i awlays pick when I go diving in Endless Ocean. Such a beautiful song.

[MrMike0113]

Same for me, if only 'cos I don't have many more.

I'd probably go for this though, just 'cos it's great.

[HermanN128]

She... is... brilliant...

Love it.

[ladystrange54]

this song is on the wii game endless ocean

[xxkim4evaxx]

Its such a beatiful song. i wish my voice was like hers !!

[bobbydemosthenis]
